RE: AROUND the NBA: - IamDougieFresh - 05-13-2021 We can't expect the Lakers to win and we sure as hell can't can't count on the Mavs to beat sub .500 teams. RE: AROUND the NBA: - ReunionMav - 05-13-2021 One hell of a game. From 90% shooting for half of the 4th to missed free throws and double dribble. I’ll take the lead for 5th for now but this game shows it is never over and you have to make winning plays all the way to the end.

There are only 2 scenarios where Mavs finish 7th. 20 X Mavs #5 11 X Blazers #5 1 X Lakers #5 32 TOTAL And ... Yes, there are only two scenarios where the Mavs finish #7. As stated previously by umpteen different people, the Mavs will avoid the play-in if they win one more game or if the Lakers lose one more game. Conversely, the Mavs will NOT avoid the play-in (i.e., the Mavs will finish #7) if and only if the Mavs lose their last two games AND the Lakers win their last two games (regardless of whether the Blazers win or lose vs. the Nuggets). RE: AROUND the NBA: - Halfnir - 05-14-2021 If Clippers, Dallas and Lakers (to avoid 3-way tie) all lose one for their last 2, it could come to the situation that it's Mavs-Clippers and Portland-Denver regardless of the DEV-POR game because winning DEN would go to 3rd seed (own the tiebreaker over LAC) to play POR on 6th and winning POR would go 5th seed to play DEN on 4th.

My head hurts too much to figure this out, but I wonder what Denver would do if there is a scenario where they can pick their opponent by either winning or losing the last game with Portland? |
